🔎 Fund Overview

The recent shift in the payments industry has been the transition away from the traditional payments methods and into mobile methods. It is commonly held that consumer spending accounts for approximately two thirds of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which in real terms equates to roughly 11.5 trillion dollars. It is estimated by the Electronic Transaction Association (ETA) that 70% of these transaction are conducted electronically. While the basic infrastructure that facilitates electronic payments (e-payments) has been in place for decades, it has recently evolved to facilitate the demands of a now global industry. Per the ETA, industry segments include Card Networks, Infrastructure & Software Providers, Processors and/or Solutions companies; players from each of these segments are represented in the fund.
